Lives alongside `luna-jit` (Cranelift); backend selection at runtime via the `LUNA_JIT_BACKEND=llvm` env var. Internal alt-backend crate — embedders should depend on `luna-jit` and enable the `llvm-jit` feature, not depend on this crate directly. Requires `LLVM_SYS_181_PREFIX` pointing at an LLVM 18.1.x install at build time.
